I found myself in a 3/4 pair of shorts yesterday I couldn't believe it only 7 months ago I was in a size 22!!! I feel so alive and happy I have never been happier what size are you?

Almost one year out. Maintaining at 220. Heaviest was over 420.

I have reached my one year mark. Starting weight was 297. My current weight is 193. My goal weight is 180. I still have some work to do but I'm very happy. My surgery was April 23, 2012.

I eat about 800 a day. I notice that when I don't eat as much I stop losing weight. I try not to pay attention to the calorie amount and more just make sure I'm eating food with Protein in it and 3 meals a day with 1 planned snack like yogurt!

Sounds to me like low blood sugar

I am almost 6 months post op and it has happened to me several times through out. I find if I change up what I am eating and increase my Protein it gives me a jump start and I start losing again. Make sure you are getting enough calories. Don't let your body go into starvation mode. Good luck!!!

Yes and I suffered for 2 months my surgeon left a large hole in my lower bowel and my opening to my stomach was the size of a grain of rice I was also put on antibiotics that caused thresh for a month which made me vomit non stop even Water made me vomit so don't wait and if you feel like no one is listening move on to a different doc I hope you figure it out god bless

Yep 113lbs only Water that I drink no tea, juice, nothing I think because no one else i know has done that and i seem to be ahead of the pact lol it's hard as hell but so worth it plus daily work outs

You look awesome

You look fabulous

Sometimes a change in your routine can make a Difference like Exercising if u have been doing the same Exercise your body needs a change, "sometimes" that's all it takes.
Date of Surgery 12/18/12

WOW you are doing really well. My surgery was 11/19 and you are kicking my butt. :-)
Yes the bathroom can be an issue. I know this will cause me to plateau. Also, you have lost a lot of weight. Your body may just need a rest period. Keep doing what you are doing and it will continue to come off.

I posted this somewhere else but gotta tell ya, my mirena destroyed my orgasms....loved the no period thing but my orgasm intensity went from delightful to meh, not worth the effort....they were super easy to have but just blah....gyn thought I was nuts but within days of having it removed I was back to the good old days!
HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 231.4

I had my first Mirena for five years and my second I've had for three years now. I can't feel my strings, never have been able to.
I do not want to get PG!!!!!!!

I am getting ready to have my surgery on the 13th... I cannot take any birth control with hormones due to a health condition so that rules out a lot of my options for BC... We have been using condoms and vaginal spermicide suppositories together and not having sex during my fertile phase... I hope that is enough to keep me from getting pg! I too tried depo 14 years ago after my first son was born. At the time I was a size 4-6... Six months later I had ballooned to a size 16!! So never again will I ever take depo

Be careful with depo shot. I worked in an ob/gyn office and my step daughter does the shots and they make you gain weight.

I actually do much better with beef then chicken. It just has to be soft like ground beef, roast, filet, etc. I am three months out and did have a very lean sirloin steak the other day. It was wonderful. :-)
Toast has been on my OK list for a while but I only eat about half a slice on the weekend with my eggs. I stick to crackers and baked pita chips (they seem to have more Protein in them and fewer carbs).

Thank you

I had one. If it is, don't be frightened. I was terrified but when they fixed it, I had instant relief!!!!!!

So I am 3 months & 3 weeks post op! Glad to say I'm out of my slump and feeling fantastic! For the most part my energy is coming back, and I'm able to eat just about anything, and always make healthy choices. I started my journey in feb weighing in at 271, which was the heaviest I had ever been, on August 8th,2012 I had surgery and weighed 264, today I am glad to say that I weigh 194 pounds! Holy cow, even feels good to type it!

Ugh had to vent everything drives me nuts and I just want to be alone I have no desire for anything oddly enough the only thing that dosnt get on my nerves is my hubby! But on the flip side I feel I'm useless to him and I've been on my damn cycle for 8 days I hope it ends soon because this is crap!!! Sorry if its TMI

Today is the day, being in new Zealand I'm a day ahead of my surgery twins. In the waiting room. So excited. Let's do it
